The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 -374, Plan Change_1

The servant brought back eighteen sets of glassware to the Yan Family, and Madam Li was agape with amazement, looking at the three Daohua sisters trailing behind: “How did you buy so many?”

Dong Yuanyao laughed, “Auntie, we didn’t spend a single silver. All these were won in the raffle. Oh, Uncle Yan also won a prize—a set of snuff bottles with twelve pieces in total.”

Madam Li was momentarily stunned: “Is glassware really so easy to come by these days?”

Dong Yuanyao spoke with a smile, “Who could we thank but our luck!”

Looking at the three jubilant girls, Madam Li couldn’t help but smile wryly, instructing the staff to carry the glassware directly to Daohua Courtyard: “There’s too much foot traffic in my courtyard—be careful you don’t break them. Go enjoy yourselves at the Daohua Pavilion.”

Daohua nodded and left with Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu.

Once the glassware had been moved to Daohua Courtyard, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu just couldn’t keep their hands off it, eagerly picking it up to admire.

Daohua, on the other hand, directly had the maids arrange the glassware displays in the room.

Initially, Dong Yuanyao was quite engaged, but upon seeing Guyu and Lixia lifting a glass screen onto the kang bed, she felt something was off: “Yiyi, why do I have the feeling that our pieces are not only smaller than yours, but also not as exquisite?”

Daohua, who was busy placing flowers in a glass vase, hesitated for a moment: “…Well, I got the first prize, so it should be a bit better.”

Dong Yuanyao furrowed her brows and pondered: “That’s not right. So many people entered the raffle, how could all the prizes end up with us?”

Su Shiyu looked up at Daohua and smiled subtly, “Aren’t you happy that you won?”

She had figured it out; today’s prizes must have been prearranged by the Little Prince, and allocated based on the closeness of their relationships.

There was no need to mention the Yan Family; Dong Yuanxuan got to the Little Prince before her brother, so Yuanyao won the second prize, and she got the third.

Their glassware might not compare to Yiyi’s, but any single piece taken alone was highly valuable. The Little Prince probably thought the gift too hefty to be given outright and used the lottery as a pretext to hand it over to them.

But… Yiyi’s share was, indeed, a little too much.

With this in mind, Su Shiyu couldn’t help but glance at Daohua, the thirteen-year-old Miss Yan, who was already showing signs of grace and charm. It wasn’t impossible that the Little Prince had developed a fondness for her.

Dong Yuanyao had already stood up, no longer focusing on her own glassware but observing Daohua’s. As she looked, she realized that almost every piece fit Daohua’s tastes.

Now she was certain; the lottery was merely a ruse – those pieces of glassware were specifically meant for them.

Seeing Dong Yuanyao inspecting her prize so closely, Daohua felt a twinge of guilt and didn’t want to dwell on the topic. She quickly changed the subject: “What do you think we should do for Mid-Autumn this year?”

Not wanting to delve into the matter of the glassware either, Su Shiyu immediately responded with a cheerful tone, “Drinking under the moon, composing poetry, such are life’s pleasurable pursuits. On Mid-Autumn Day, we shall surely enjoy mooncakes, drink osmanthus wine, and admire the moon while composing poems.”

At these words, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao exchanged glances.

As for composing and reciting poetry, they didn’t have the slightest inclination.

Dong Yuanyao: “Then I’ll handle the drinking.”

Daohua quickly added, “I’ll take care of eating the mooncakes.”

After they spoke, both of them looked at Su Shiyu: “You handle admiring the moon and composing poems.”

Su Shiyu gave them an exasperated smile, “There’s no fun in doing it all alone.”

Daohua shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, “But we don’t know how to compose poetry!”

Su Shiyu was silent for a moment: “Then what can you do?”

Dong Yuanyao: “Sword dancing!”

Daohua: “Whip playing!”

Hearing these answers, Su Shiyu’s mouth twitched: “Is there anything more elegant?”

Daohua thought for a while, “Burning incense? Flower arranging? Playing the zither…”

Su Shiyu’s eyes lit up, “Playing the zither is good; we can do that.”

Daohua smiled, “Alright, then I’ll play a piece for you on Mid-Autumn.” She then turned to Dong Yuanyao with a smile, “And you?”

Dong Yuanyao: “Since you’ll play the zither, then I’ll accompany with a dance. A sword dance is still a dance.”

The three of them chattered on about how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, but plans cannot keep up with changes. The day before Mid-Autumn, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao returned. As soon as they arrived, Yan Wenkai said to Daohua.

“Big sister, there’s a lotus pond by Ningmen Pass so vast you can’t see across it. Do you want to join us boating and admiring the lotuses tomorrow?”

“Yes!”
